How 'dangerous' Man City maintained 100 per cent record
Match of the Day's Joe Hart and Danny Murphy analyse how Manchester City made it seven wins from seven in the Premier League with a 3-2 victory against Ipswich.
Manchester City secured a 3-2 victory against Ipswich Town at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, marking their seventh consecutive Premier League win. Phil Foden opened the scoring for City, but the lead was cancelled out by Daizen Maeda. Erling Haaland scored twice to help secure the win for Enzo Maresca's side, moving them six points clear at the top of the table.
This result represents the first time in the club's history that they have achieved seven straight wins at the start of a Premier League season, making them only the third team in the league's history to do so. During the match, Haaland netted his 100th non-penalty goal in the Premier League. According to The National Business and The National UAE, he reached this milestone in just 139 appearances, which is the fastest rate of any player in the competition's history.
BBC Sport Football noted that Joe Hart and Danny Murphy provided analysis of the match. Amidst the on-pitch success, The National Business and The National UAE reported uncertainty in the Premier League following an independent commission's findings regarding City's financial dealings and the club's subsequent appeal, though the club has denied any wrongdoing.
